They're talking about three particular twists: burning Shireen, "Hold the Door", and a third one that has yet to happen. Probably Mad Queen Dany, I assume.

Interesting. That means all kinds of poo poo is up in the air. Stannis's death. Battle of the Bastards; is the death of Rickon even for sure? Is the Wall coming down a thing? Will the Night King resurrect Viseryon? Will there even be a Night King in the books? Or just a bunch of Others? Do all of the Others die when one lead Other is killed? Does Arya even kill him?

What exactly have I been watching for the past 4 years?

Yeah, I was thinking that during the entire episode. Dragonglass actually sucks against the regular dead because it doesn't do anything extra to them, and it's actually really brittle and prone to breaking.

The first four seasons are genuinely great, and the decline in quality in seasons 5-7 are offset by occasionally awesome things like Hardhome and the resurrection of Viseryon. At this point, after watching for 8 years, it doesn't make sense to bail with only two more episodes left. Even if I end up hating them.

I never thought hate watching the final season would be as enjoyable as it's been :stoked:

Yeah that's what I remembered as well, so if Arya kills her she's not even really going to know who did it unless Arya says something like "the Starks send their regards" and just ugh

a freed slave that they saw once. Better take her prisoner. Also they somehow took her prisoner instead of killing her when they destroyed her ship.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

They even mock here as the "so called breaker of chains" when they put misandry in irons.

Seems like the know more than they should?

That was to hide the spoiler.

So instead of 70 Italian extras seeing Misandry on set they had 7,000 Korean animators digitally insert her into the scene.

And then the spanish translators spoiled it anyways, just like they do every year.

When you think about how rushed and cheap this season feels, just remember poo poo like that, and the fact that they shot a handful of fake alternate scenes to hide spoilers.

They wasted production time and budget on scenes that are not part of the show. On purpose.

And, as pointed out, poo poo is getting spoiled anyway.

Anyone who cares enough to go looking for spoilers is going to watch the show anyway, so who cares?

When I watched the last season of Lost I was disappointed that they didn't really explain a drat thing about that stupid island. But if before watching the final season I read a spoiler that revealed they were all dead and the final season was taking place in the afterlife I don't think that would have discouraged me from watching it.

Reading an outline or plot summery is not the same as seeing the story.
